I think it would have worked

It would have taken Italian and European football by storm.

So, today CONTE was interviewed by the most important TV Sports Network in the continent (ESPN) and he said something I didn't like. First I want to say I'm very disappointed of the performance of our team and especially of his tactical decissions in european competitions, this UCL and even the last one.
In this interview he was asked about the Europa League and with his answers I think I understand our failure in UCL.
He said that winning UEL wasn't a goal, despite that the final is play in Torino. He said that he didn't like that the competition is play on Thursdays, that there's not going to be enough rest, that he had seen the fixtures and realized we were going to play every week. He said that winning UEL was going to be very difficult so he just wanted to get as far as possible, but he never compromised to win it.

With these kind of thoughts I understand why we fail in UCL. If you are Juventus and your competition to win the UEL is Tottenham, Shakhtar, Valencia and Fiorentina, you MUST compromised to win the tournament, especially this Juve and the ENORMOUS difference between our squad and the rest of the teams.

I was disappointed of how we face european tournaments before this interview, now I just confirm the lack of ambition of our coach.

No shocks or surprises in his comments. Clear as fuck Conte (and most likely Marotta and Agnelli as well) really couldn't care less about the EL, it will not shock me one bit if were eliminated by Trabzonspor.

The thing is, Conte can rotate players better and not compromise much. For example, when you're facing a small team at home, you can rest a few starters. If the game is in doubt you can always sub them in.

Instead, Conte plays the first choice XI for 90 minutes regardless. FFS, we were beating Samp 4-2 at home in the 78th minute and he waited 10 minutes to sub our strikers. Then they're benched for the Coppa.

It's possible we could have rested Tevez vs. Samp and still won, then he could play against Roma. Simple management really.

lets be serious do you ever watch EL games? it's a second tier competition, and conte provided an additional valid point as to why we should give it little regard.

It would have taken Italian and European football by storm.

It would be a new brand of football.

they could just header to each other all the way up pitch playing keepy off with the opposition until they reach the penalty box where 2 of them would crowd the goalie out and the other will do a big header into the goal.

You have to make small steps. We have been thrown out of the CL after drawing with teams like Copenhagen and Gala. We need to get used to European competition. What better way than to do it against the likes of Tottenham and Valencia?

We'll bow out like ***ches

lucky we had such a master tactician on the bench

Del blax outdid himself that night. He subbed in grosso. can't remember for whom exactly, a few players switched places following the genius move and pretty sure grosso got in to play on left midfeild while chasing the game. don't even know if that was supposed to be sorta like a damage control move or what.
Thank fck for Conte.

No surprises there, we are in the EL just like we were in Coppa Italia.

New deal for Conte according to GDS.

2018, 4 million per season and it's also being reported we'll be changing formation next season.

Conte really needs to Focus on Europa league.

No excuses really this time.

He's supposed to sign it in March.

Serie A is the best and only 'excuse' (reason) needed.

Other teams around Europe have leagues too but they still focus on Europe. I don't see Bayern, Madrid or even clubs like atletico Madrid ( though they have a chance to win la liga for the first time in 15 years) saying we will focus on our leagues and field our reserves in Europe !

I really hope Conte don't do that...

 

[JuveJay]

Yes, because those teams are playing in the Europa League...

 

[only-juve]

Yes, because those teams are playing in the Europa League...

Chelsea were playing in Europa league last season and they've won it even though they had to focus on their league and qualify for CL. I can give you countless examples on teams doing exactly the same including JUVE in 93/94 season.

Add the fact that this year final will be played in our stadium that in itself makes it extremely important to win the title.

screw Europa League, just concentrate on the tripletta.
